Class 4

This week Class 4 celebrated pancake day. We read the story ‘The Runaway Pancake’ – which reminded us of another story we know very well! We talked about why we celebrate pancake day and looked at how people celebrate it around the world. After all that talk of pancakes, our tummies were rumbling so it was only right that we got to taste some ourselves! We designed our “perfect pancake” before creating our own using different toppings. They were absolutely delicious!

This week Class 4 have been looking at length and height. We used language like ‘taller’ and ‘shorter’ to compare heights.

We then used non standard measurements (cubes) to measure the length of items around the classroom.

Before using a ruler to measure items in centimetres (cm).

This week for Safer Internet Day, Class 4 have been looking at how to stay safe online. We talked about what it means to be safe online and how we can make sure we are doing this.

We talked about sharing personal information online and how we need to be careful what we share, before sorting different types of personal information into ‘safe to share online’ or ‘not safe to share online’. We had a brilliant understanding of what we could and shouldn’t share and why.

Our final PACT (Parent and Child Together) morning was for our Year 1s and their fab parents & caregivers! ✨

The Year 1 children loved showing their grown-ups how they learn and practise Maths with a range of resources – such as tens frames, our tens and ones and part whole models.

We will you keep all posted about future PACT mornings as we know you’ve all loved making special memories with your children in school.

Year 1 had a fantastic time with their adults at our PACT reading morning!

The children loved showing their adults some of the reading activities we do in school and of course, showing them how amazing they are at reading!!

This week, class 4 have been reading the story ‘Handa’s Suprise’ by Eileen Brown. In the story, Handa takes a basket of fruit to her friend, Akeyo. This week we got to try some of the fruits in Handa’s basket! We tried;

banana

mango

pineapple

orange

tangerines

avocado

and even passion fruit!! We then used adjectives to describe what the fruits looked like, smelt like and how they tasted. The children were amazing and tried all the different fruits – although some were definitely more popular than others!!
